No Pain, No Chocolate

Do you love chocolate and hate pain? Well, you're in luck. According to a recent article in Science Daily, a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience found that pleasurable foods like chocolate delay laboratory rats' pain response to heat, while bitter flavors like quinine do nothing to offset discomfort. But don't go inhaling a Snickers bar just because you have a headache—scientists also found that a plain old sip of water has the same ability to dull pain. Thanks guys. Is there anything to alleviate the sting of disappointment?
